Willapa Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 +1 on the link above, that helped me out. I had a hard time settling on a spectrum while trying to figure out what looked good to my eye but good for growth and color. Good to see some actual testing. I have AI 26s but they have the same diodes, just twice as many. It is definitely blue, but you can tweak it from there to dial it in to how you like it. Only a percent or two more of white makes a big change. It limits the red and green that can fuel algae growth.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrc Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yesterday I got around to installing the Tunze ATO (works great so far) and I've slowly been ramping my lights up (i've got a ways to go, but taking things relatively slow...

nrc Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 New years update: Picked up several frags from Sean yesterday thanks @albertareef! Also you may be able to tell from the crummy phone pics that the Coraline is starting to come in (yellow then green then darker green now purple spots). I'm continuing to slowly ramp up my lights: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrc Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) I'm going to dig through the house and see if I can find a snorkeling camera that I picked up a few years back. It's bound to take better photos than this phone...

albertareef Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Looks like you’ve been busy gluing stuff down! Hope they all do well for you - I will have a piece of the purple cap whenever you find room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrc Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Updated with a few pics. I dug out an older olympus snorkeling camera for most of these. Top view of birdsnest. Interesting how it looks green/blue from above, and brown/red from the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrc Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Top view of some new growth. The Monti caps are growing slowly in spite of being partly shaded. My hope is they will soon be out far enough to gather a bit more light. I can't recall the name of the green piece which I got from @albertareef however all of those bright green nubs are new within the last week....

nrc Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Zoa rock viewed from the top. This is the one I had to dip in a hydrogen peroxide solution 2 weeks ago. It seems to be recovering nicely (and no signs of bubble algae so far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrc Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Side view of same rock, taken minutes apart. Funny how once in awhile my phone (pixel2) takes better pics than the dive camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
